Brilliant that you have Ibiza booked! And the sunset view - gorgeous.
I hope all goes smoothly for your DD. Good that the waiting is nearly over and it will soon be history.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

We go to San Antonio Bay which is quite lively but also very chilled. We’ve been to most resorts though. Es Cana and Santa Eulalia might be what you’re looking for. If you go, I would highly recommend paying a visit to Ibiza Town it’s amazing.MFWannabe said:Hi. Would you mind me asking which part of Ibiza you go to?

Happy June. How can we be halfway through the year already!!
Refused to leave the house this morning until I’d given everywhere a good clean. Cue lots of sighing from Mr SA and the dog trotting in and out of whichever room I was cleaning and looking sad. Managed to finish slightly after 10am so not exactly late going out.We went to the local park with a nursery for a change from the park across the road. I bought 3 plants. Stopped off at Mr Al as we passed it on the way back and ended up spending on garden stuff and a few bits of groceries. It has been quite a spendy day but have bought some nice things for the garden.Having said that I need to take the 2 solar lanterns back to Mr Al as I’ve realised they’re minus their solar panels, can’t believe I didn’t notice when I picked them up 😖
